Right Girl, Wrong Side

The Hatfields and McCoys get an update in this delightful rom-com from Baird (The Duplicate Bride). Evita Machado has been procrastinating telling her big, tight-knit family that she broke up with the boyfriend they all loved, and now it looks like she’s going to have to break the news on family vacation. That’s soon the least of her worries, however, when their Nantucket beach house is accidentally double-booked and the rowdy Machados find themselves sharing it with the stuffy Hatfields, the family of Evita’s mother’s fiercest business rival. Youngest son Ryan Hatfield has had a soft spot for Evita since they were lab partners in their high school chemistry class, and those feelings come flooding back now that they’re back in close quarters. Their chemistry is palpable, but they’ll have to work together to settle their families’ feud if they’re going to give their attraction the chance to bloom. Baird delivers a cast full of three-dimensional characters that readers will be happy to spend time with, and the vivid Nantucket setting adds to the charm. Readers will fall in love right alongside the hero and heroine. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary. (Mar.)
